Explanation / Answer

Result:

Computer output giving descriptive statistics for the percent of the population that is obese for each of the 50 US states, from the USStates dataset, is given in Figure 1 shown below. Since all 50 US states are included, this is a population, not a sample

What are the mean and the standard deviation

Mean =24.552

Sample standard deviation s=3.044

Population standard deviation = sqrt((n-1)s^2/n)

= sqrt(49*3.044^2/50)

=3.013406
